Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Just ten minutes walk from the town centre, the historic and recently refurbished Pitlochry Hydro Hotel overlooks the town of Pitlochry itself.

“A Mixed Bag”

Reviewed 15 May 2013

I stayed here with my sister-in-law for the Etape Caledonia. The location is great for the event as it's close to the Town Centre.The hotel was also very accommodating in terms of allowing bikes in the rooms. I'd agree with other comments that the rooms are a little dated but acceptable and comfortable. There were a couple of cleanliness issues,... More

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to post your comments. In the previous review I conceded that the Etape weekend is unique and outwith our usual comfort zone and I think all things considered we adapted very well and handled the demands of a very different customer. The minor criticisms will be looked at though some, like the payment... More

“Friendly and a nice stay”

We stayed at the Hydro for two nights when I was taking part in the Etape Caledonia. As other guest have stated the rooms are a little dated but clean and perfectly acceptable. The bed was comfortable but were woken during the night by a car alarm going off (which we were later told had done the same the night... More

Hello, and thanks for a nice review. First of all congratulations for completing the Etape..... thats some achievement ! Our Hotel operates outwith our normal comfort zone for the Etape Weekend and we have worked hard to try and fall in line with the demands and requirements from a very different group of customers.

“Not quite as good as I hoped”

Situated above the town of Pitlochry with a steep walk for the elderly up from the town. A hotel a little jaded but trying very hard to provide good service. Choice of food on half board was very good the only complaint was at breakfast where the fruit juices were insipid. Waiter/waitress service was, I felt, too quick but staff... More

I can't really say anything wrong about the hotel or staff. We were made to feel very welcome and the friendly bar/reception staff made our stay very enjoyable . The only downside is the location from the town centre as it is up a steep hill and its approx a 10 min walk to town centre. But walking back from... More
